Squadcast Summary 2015-04-03 - The Closed for the Holidays Edition

[Renegrade]

The Squadcast today was full of exciting news and features, unfortunately Squad was closed for the holidays so we didn't get to hear 'em.

That is all.

Holidays? As in.. spring break?

Apparently there was a national holiday in Mexico, which was why Squad was closed for today.

That's a letdown.. Are they still going to showcase the features in the devnotes or something?

[CalculusWarrior]

A pity, today was the one day I could actually watch Squadcast!

A summary from a different member!? Madness!

[Renegrade]

Online resources tell me that April 3rd (Good Friday) is a "bank holiday" in Mexico. If that's anything like a Canadian bank holiday well - let's just say that only banks take those here. *cough* Ahem.. anyhow, the title of the KSPtv channel was "KSPTV: Squad office closed due to national holiday. No Squadcast", and that's all the info I have :/

(Interestingly enough Good Friday is a statutory holiday in Canada, not a bank holiday. Of course, that means that I get overtime, not time off~)

Actually I've been covering the "Squad missed the Squadcast" summaries lately. OWK only does the ones with content

I heard that Mexico is a Christian country, and that Easter is the most important holiday in Christianity.

But Mexico is in the west.

And I'm glad you do. With the clocks going forward, Squadcast is now on at 1.30am my time so if it means I get an early night, I'm taking it

Lol, you made me look up the origin of the word "Easter". Apparently it's from pagan German roots so some Christian sects don't use the name. Source here and verified at a couple of other sites.

Denomination. Sect refers to a group considered to be heretic.

Some fun astrological info on how Easter is calculated. Long story short Good Friday is the Friday before the first Sunday following the first full moon following the vernal equinox. It commemorates Jesus' death upon the cross prior to resurrection, if you're inclined to believe in such things.

Of course I believe in full Moons.

I think you meant to say full Muns.
